ZFS Support in Nautilus

ZFS Support in Nautilus

 The Solaris ZFS file system is a revolutionary new file system that supplies many new features, such as pooled storage, snapshots/clones, and backups/restores. Nautilus is the official file manager and desktop shell for the OpenSolaris Desktop environment. Since ZFS is the next generation of file system on Solaris, it's important functionality that should be available in Nautilus. This project will make Nautilus and GNOME-VFS support ZFS file system.

Source Code

 You can now browse the source code, or check out the code from the following repository -

Getting Involved

 The following is a list of tasks based around snapshot management we are looking at working on initially -

• Creation and destruction of snapshots from Nautilus
• General management: list, rename, etc ..
• Roll back a specified snapshot
• Cloning snapshots

 If you are interested in any of these tasks, contact the developers -
